Motherwell V Aberdeen (0 - 2)


Recommended Posts


We're playing Hamilton on the 15th Feb at 3.30pm too - maybe its a Lanarkshire thing. Gypos.

 

I always enjoy a trip to Motherwell - fond memories of our first game up there last season when we won 3-1...I knew right then there was something special going on with Derek - we fucking raped them. Hahaahaahaaaaa cunts....

 

Anyhoo - prediction 0-3: Hayes, Rooney, Goodwillie.

 

Crowd 3500 (3400 us)

Injured: Low, Anderson

Doubtful: Robson, Flood, Robertson

 

A win would be massive to extend our top of the table stay by an additional fortnight.

 

A tough decision for McInnes whether to rest players or stick with the same team. I'll say stick with the team but use early subs again.

 

Brown

 

Logan Taylor Reynolds Considine

 

Pawlett Jack Hayes McGinn

 

Goodwillie Rooney

 

subs: Langfield, Murray, Smith, Shankland, Monakana, Flood, Robson

 

prediction: 1-0 Pawlett

Every game is a big game and this is no different. Another big chance and to cement our position.

 

Motherwell have been poor this season but they absolutely hate us so will always be out to prove a point.

 

Same team, same tactics and hopefully the same outcome.

 

COYR!

Undoubtedly, our goals against record has to come to an end sometime. As does our winning streak. I really did think it would be yesterday. All the signs pointed to it.... a huge crowd, full of anticipation of the prospect of going to the top of the league, StJ's on a 5 game winning run as well etc etc. How many times have we been in that same situation and blown it?

 

Motherwell will be hurtin for sure. It'll be tough going. But work as hard as we are capable of, get out of the traps like we have been, and set up as many chances as we did yesterday, then we should be fine. But..... it's a forgone conclusion that we'll drop points in the coming months. Let's just make sure we do that by being outplayed and outworked by the opposition, even after giving 100%.

 

I'd also say that we are in danger of burning out our normal starting 11.... so feel that we may need to rotate the squad a wee bit. That said, DM has tried that before on occasions and it's bitten him on the arse. Perhaps get in front and then take off the mainstays like he did yesterday.

Aye think he should rotate a few players

 

Langfield in for Brown as he has been pretty poor last couple games.

Flapping at crosses again yesterday. Made up for it with a good stop but collecting crosses are clearly a problem for the lad.

 

10,000 x better than Clangers but not the answer.

Wanting to head down for this one but reckon I'll just watch it on TV as I'm already skint till the end of the month... might sneak in the St Mirren game though!

 

Motherwell have been shite this season but they still have the potential to be a good team. I think they'll raise their game and it'll be a close one. 1-0 Aberdeen though... Pawlett.

 

Motherwell have been a strange one this season. Recently they've been best of the rest then lost their best player but kept going the season after. This time they finished 2nd, lost hardly anyone, and have been shit!

I was. Misjudged one corner, in a swirling wind, but redeemed himself with a fine save from Andersons overheid kick. Other than that, i didn't see him put a foot wrong, again. But i'm nae a keeper coach, so maybe Tup can elaborate on any other mistakes.

 

He has badges

 

Agreed. Misjudged a couple at Inverness as well. Merely highlighting a flaw in the lads game. I think he's been fantastic thus far.

I fully expect DM and the squad will be fully focused again and confidence clearly high in the dressing room. Tough game to be expected. As others have mentioned dont feel motherwell's league position is a fair reflection of the quality in their side. After their result against Hamilton, they will be looking to pick themselves up and look to put in a much better performance at home against us. It vital we get an early goal IMO. They have a number of key players missing and a fielding a fair few youngsters as a result so we should be looking to press them all over the pitch - causing them to make mistakes. Hopefully another massive travelling support to cheer the team on.
